How To Deal With Anger And Frustration?

I've never been regular with my period. I saw a gyno for the first time who put me on the pill. It hasn't regulated it yet. I get it every seven to eight weeks. The doctor was confused but told me to keep going and if I didn't right itself then he'd try a new one. Well, I got it on time...But then I missed it and didn't get my period again until seven weeks later. I then got an ultrasound of my ovaries, as it was suspected I had PCOS. Results came back that I had only one cyst, which I was told that it is not characteristic of PCOS which usually consists of a bunch of cysts. But I was told that didn't necessarily mean I don't have it. My weight is an issue. I work out 4 to 7 times a week and watch what I eat. I lost 3 pant sizes yet the weight in my back, face never get smaller, and my arms for some reason seem to get bigger. I've got facial hair growing like crazy as well as on my chest, inner thighs, and abdomen. My cystic acne seems to keep getting worse and its leaving scaring. The hair on my scalp has thinned out some. My neck, lower back, and ESPECIALLY my left knee has begun to ache in recent months. It's hard to straighten my leg out after work or after working out. And once I straighten it for a while, it hurts to bend it again. I have been clenching my jaw all this year to the point where I get intense headaches starting at my ears and radiating up. My dentist said my facial muscles were REALLY tight and said it was TMJ. I'm seeing a psychiatrist because I can't remember the simplest things anymore...like my therapy sessions. He diagnosed me with depression/anxiety/adhd. I forget long conversations that had happened moments beforehand. I turn down random streets and into parking lots and not know why I'm there. I am in the political field, working for a campaign, so I am required to be a quick, off the cuff communicator, something I used to be good at, but it seems to take a while for me to collect my thoughts. I'm so frustrated and angry. I'm incredibly smart, and I know it, but it seems that its hard to show it anymore. I also can't sleep. Nothing shuts off in my brain. And when I do sleep, I wake up, still tired. Please, someone help and let me know I'm not crazy or paranoid.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The problems you are exaggerating here are actually not problems at all. Because anxiety and stress is the main cause. You do know people searching for their spectacles even when the spectacles are present on their nose. That happens due to anxiety.

You are forgetting things because you are anxious. Then it becomes obsession. You want yourself to be watched by yourself. you watch yourself and you forget. You become anxious again and you are obsessive. This cycle continues.

You should know that these problems are not mental diseases, but are mental disorders. Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Exercise, Life style changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc are as essential as medicines. Psychotherapy can help you changing your lifestyle and thinking patterns. Yoga and meditation help you to streamline your metabolism and neurological balance. Please consult a psychologist for further information.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
